I love this review for the French Edition of my Basket Case novelization! - Basket Case juggles between pure horror and grotesque, for a result as disgusting as fun.

Saw this novelization of Silent Night Deadly Night by @armandomunoz.bsky.social. I remember being so scared of the VHS cover of this movie when I was a kid. Who says the holidays are over?
